There is a large assembled cast throughout the book, perhaps a little too large in the middle stages. However, the detail of the players who made up Margaret's and Hilda's lives at that time are important, and some of the smaller characters do provide further insight into the main ones. Gibbons clearly had the knack of writing a luxurious and detailed novel, rich in description and bursting with tactical observation; which, combined with compelling characters, makes a relaxing but satisfying summer read.

FURTHER READING SUGGESTION: [[The Ghost of Lily Painter by Caitlin Davies]] or the book for which Gibbons is best-known [[Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons|Cold Comfort Farm]]
